Kelly Rowland

Bossip caught wind that Kelly Rowland recently acquired a new manager. We reached out to her management to get the final confirmation:

Bossip reached out to Jeff Rabhan, who currently manages Jermaine Dupri and manager Kelis one time. With excitement, Jeff responded, “I can confirm that I am her new manager!”

Good look, Kel. It’s about time that you got some shine. Serious shine.

  • Erick B

    Good Luck…now make music

  • Caramel Cat

    I’m rooting for Kelly. I want her to enjoy some solo commercial success. It doesn’t have to be on the level of Bey’s but she deserves her own.

  • Pretti Pretty Princess

    Good for her! I don’t know why this is news… Yawn…

  • justellndatfuf

    She is the spitting image of that man…….can’t nobody tell me that ain’t her daddy!!!

  • I had to say it

    She shoulda BEEEEEN cut that ugly black self centered bastid loose.

    Get you a WHITE management team Kelly. Stop messing with gradiose negros who only have THEIR best interest at heart.

    I’d manage that a$$ if she let me.

    Kelly fine.

  • nana

  • The Official Mrs. Carter

    She does look a LOT like him! I would call out of work to catch that episode of Maury…lol

  • Sugar&Salt

    I wish Kelly well, she’s a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice.

  • Nigga Said

    Matthew got that look on his like he’s saying “I’s the pappy”

  • Journey

    I concur @Caramel Cat

  • It’s about time. Good luck.

  • Carla

    Yes, it’s kind of creepy, I wonder if Kelly is Matthew’s biological daughter ? That’s sad if he is her real dad. That would make Beyonce and Solange her sisters then.

    Well first I heard about her main sqeeze from LDN and now she’s hired a new manager. By the way I did like that song called “Like This.” I hope that’s the title any how, lol…

  • dayg715

    why is this loser still scratching for relevancy? she needs to just give it up and quit embarrassing herself.

  • miglé

    yay! wishing all the best for kizzy :D

  • http://CLANIER@TBSDDP.COM C LANIER

    It does not matter who her manager is, she is not a very good singer, then again if some of the other no talents can have some success than I guess Kelly can too.

  • http://www.punchlineblog.blogspot.com/ Sterling

    here it is

  • justsaying

    if you really look at Kelly she does look like Matthew and to me she looks like a dark Beyonce, I think Matthew is the father

  • 2dimplzs

    Good for her, it’s time that she moves on with her life and her career! I wish her BETTER SUCCESS!

  • TWITTER.COM/BROCCOLLITHIGHS

    kelly is sooooo pretttyyy…no homo.

  • Angee

    From what I understand, Matthew is not her biological father but him and Tina pretty much raised Kelly.

    This might be good for her. He seems to concentrate a lot on Beyonce.

  • Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators

    @EVERYBODY

    I WAS JUST PLAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don’t know if she’s Matthew Knowles secret love child or not…

    I just said what I said ’cause of the rumors that’s been going on for years about that… LMAO!!!

    But hold up though…
    *looking closely at the pic.*

    Damn, she does kinda favor him… I dunno, LOL!!!

  • L

    LMAO @ Slide..!

  • L

    broccollithighs?? lol @ that name, is there a story behind that?

  • Moreaces

    Good move, I wish her all the best, she deserves a break.

  • JR

    If you think she looks like a dark Beyonce, look at a picture of her and Solange! He da pappy!

  • mel

    Please Kelly write the tell all book

  • PUSSYCATFUN

    I HOPE SHE PUT OUT AN ALBUM I WOULD ACTUALLY BUY FROM A STORE INSTEAD OF COPPING FROM DUDE IN FRONT OF THE LIQUOR STORE…3 FOR 5 BOOTLEG!

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • Liyah

    OMG…..kelly and matthew really DO favor each other!!!!!!! MAURY SHOW: In the case of Kelly Rowland, Matthew, you ARE the father. Tina: HOW COULD YOU???? Beyonce: Doesn’t matter. I’m still number one. I was always on top. Solange: Apparently Daddy was too. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!

  • fatal

    @Liyah

    That is funny!! I can’t stop laughing right now.LOL!!!

  • Vel

    HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN HER “REAL FAMILY”???? I HAVENT.

  • B3Fearless

    LMAO @ Liyah – too funny!!!

  • Eboni

    who really cares…..next!!

  • http://bossip.com This some shhhh…

    Sheed, looking at how JD is marketed and Kelis was marketed this manager is a bad decision after bad.

  • T-Boo

    Lana you are so right…Beyonce is always bragging about going to private school. Those private school teachers should be embarrassed the chic can not speak proper english. Hideous I tell you.

  • lanette

    how come this is news????

  • Kill-iLL-Lights

    she looks just like her daddy

  • CAT EYES

    Well,at least if he is her father,he took care of her.

  • MFM2009

    Awesome! Now maybe she can get a little bit of the lime light and stop living in Beyonce’s shadow. It’s funny how this comes around the same time that we’ve started seeing her on the tube more often (i.e. Bravo’s Fashion Show). I was also flipping thru channels and saw her on some American Idol type thing on a Christian channel.

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

    Jeff Rabhan managed Kelis and Jermaine Dupri? Well… with that track record, shouldn’t Kelly be running in the opposite direction???

  • http://womenoftheworldunite.blogspot.com When Keeping it Real Drops Jaws

    i demand a DNA test! they look alike like a m.f. man…

  • http://bossip.com too cute

    that’s good for her,but I don’t think she will make it,her albums haven’t done that great,shes best as a back us singer,this business is so hard going from backup to solo

  • enkogkneegro

    What I do know is placing the two of them side by side Kelly is much more beautiful, she is one chocolicious sista lawdy, lawdy, make a brotha wanna say “OWWW” cameo style. With or without the new biddies she’d me my choice between the two……Chocolicious!!!!!

  • Sparkle

    The Knowles did right by Kelly and the other girls. They took Kelly in and raised her while her mother was a live-in mammy for da white folks. It was the Knowles who almost lost their marriage and livelihood to support the girls’ career. It ain’t no secret that Bey was the Diana Ross of the group but the Knowles’ generosity is allowing Kelly and Michelle to live off of their royalties for the rest of their lives.

    I respect Kels because she always gives the Knowles their props for being there for her. If not for the Knowles she would be scrubbing toilets alongside her mother and she knows it. Folks can call it asslicking all they want but Kelly knows the real deal. Matthew at least made sure the other two girls would be financially set before launching Beys’career. If that’s not generosity I don’t know what is.

  • HMMMSMTHN2SAY

    B, YOU BELLIGERENT HOUSE RAT AT THE KNOWLES RESIDENCE. EVERYBODY KNOW KELLY CAN SING, IF NOT AS GOOD AS 30 SINGING CLASS HAVING BEYONCE. SLOW YOUR ROLE AND STOP HATIN’ GO WORSHIP AT YOUR KNOWLES SHRINE AND STEP OFF!

  • HMMMSMTHN2SAY

    SPARKLE, HOW THE COCONUTS DO YOU KNOW WHAT KELLY WOULD BE DOIN’IF THE “ALL KNOWING,ALL POWERFUL KNOWLES FAMILY WASN’T AROUND” THE ONLY REASON THEY TOOK KELLY IN IS BECAUSE MAT HER FATHER. DID YOU HEAR THEM SAY KELLY GOT SINGING,DANCING AND PROPER ETIQUETTE CLASSES? NO BEYONCE DID. KELLY WAS JUST A STOOL FOR BEYONCE TO STEP ON ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE MEMBERS OF THAT GROUP. IF BEYONCE WAS SOOOO GREAT, WHY THEY CREATE A GROUP, BECAUSE THAT BROAD HAD NO STEAM AND NOW SHE UP HIGH, YAH WANTIN’ ACT LIKE THIS FAMILY IS SAINTS? PLEASSSSSSSE YOU AIN’T GOIN’ NOWHERE IN THIS INDUSTRY UNLESS YOU PLAY THE GAME AND IT AIN’T LOLLIPOPS AND GUMDROPS!

  • hi haters see you at work

    so who you all gonna blame now?

  • Inconclusive results

  • facefacts

    Stay tune for the queen swag jack to jack her now!!!

  • Sparkle

    If Kels didn’t like it or felt she was being used, then she would have taken to stepping like the other girls did. And for all those “why doesn’t she go back to school, etc” answer this “Go to school and do what?” Obviously most of yall ain’t in the working world. That college degree don’t get you sh-t unless it’s a medical degree and even then you may make a million a year as a surgeon (and thats when you’re in your 40s). Kels is worth several million in royalties alone.

    Whatever the Knowles reasons for dealing with the other girls, it is paying them financially. Kells and Michelle are making more than someone with ten phds. Money talks, bullshyt walks, don’t hate the playa hate the game. The Knowles ain’t held no guns to nobody heads and made them be a toilet seat for Bey.

  • lanette

    I just read that Gabriel Union is suing this site…thank goodness somebody needs to……….!

  • Mel2

    Beyonce can speak about as good as some of ya’ll hear or read. She went to PUBLIC elementary school and high school for performing arts – PUBLIC SCHOOL. And it’s obvious yall amped about private school – it’s the same thing.
    1 + 1 equals 2 whether you in public or private school.

    She speaks as well as many college students and even if she can’t – money talks! LOL

  • Quantum

    I wish her well!

  • Honey Beauty—[formerly know as Mrs. RL (of Next)]

    Good for you, Kelly! I wish you all the success in the world. You deserve it!!!

  • Carla

    Okay so Bey didn’t attend private, it was a performing arts school. Well that’s more like it, lol….

    And by the way, what’s wrong with Kelly going to college ?

  • Carla

    Opps, I meant private school, sorry ! :)

  • kelly stan

    @Oh Please

    thank you for your breath of fresh air. you made some valid points without being all emotional like everyone else on this board. I am rooting for Kelly but when i heard she signed up with a guy who managed kelis, i knew this was wrong. Kelis is a flop and Kelly needs to do some Rihanna numbers, to be deemed successful. i pray this works out for her

  • Sharmaine Montague

    Past due in my opinion!! Kelly is talented in her own right!!! Matthew Knowles is a hustler for the most part and Kelly was bound for a different direction.

  • happy happy joy joy

    I’ve always thought Kelly and Michelle were the realest of destiny’s children

  • BRASH

    I wish her all success in the world! This is a great move Kelly and ITS ABOUT TIME.

  • Oh Please

    @kelly stan, thank you. you support kelly, but you are rational and obective with yours.

    if you read any of her earlier interviews you know that she wanted a simple married life as a wife and mother. she was so happy to be planning her wedding and getting married and that situation really shook her, then she started doing what other people wanted and expected her to do. Part of the reason she is not as successful as a solo artist is you can tell her heart is not in it.

  • Lil Mama C4

    I must be blind cause I never thought she looked like any of the Knowles. Yeah I think management could’ve been better for her but Kelly needs alot of work to make it big..SORRY…her live performances are HORRIBLE for a girl that was once in the biggest selling girl group or whatever. When she was on BET performing “.like this” I was embarrassed for her. So it goes both ways, and she is a very loyal person which is a good thing but it has to go both ways yeah it aint all Matthews fault but come on lets me real he he doesn’t manage NONE of his clients the way he does Beyonce thats why he’s loosing them left and right everyone can’t be lying on him.

  • The Chocolate Diva

    good for kelly.

  • http://bossip mybaad

    JD and KELIS??!

    OMG! NEXT!!! lmao!

  • http://BOOSYLITTLE Real Talk

    Kelly is Matthew Knowles love child, he was messing around with the maid, this is why Mrs. Knowles left/for that short period of time. He paid the woman off to keep quite, and the mother is forever in his debt. If you ever notice the reason for so much attention to one and not the other is to make up and prove his love to Mrs. Knowles. Everyone has secrets but they are smart enough to not let it get out. I guarantee Kelly and her mother had to sign some type of contract, not telling the dirty secrets that lies beneath. I see it in all there faces. Trust me you will here about it again. Some one from back in the day spoke on Kelly being his daughter, trust that is his child. Bastard! lol!

    I am proud of her making her own way! Good Job kel!

  • BEYONCE

    i’m sorry but if he’s managing “Kelis” and ‘Jermain Dupri” This doesn’t seem like a step in the right direction.

  • Jazz

    Kelly is a better singer than Beyonce’..Kelly is doing the right thing like getting a manager that has her best interest..

  • JaY

    GOOD FOR HER… That man will hold everyone back to have his daughter in the spot light i mean we are all a litte tierd of beyonce… Kelly is good and did you hear he will pull B out of the BET awards if that othe Letoya ex D Child chick performes wow

  • http://pcelesti2003@yahoo.com Pierre Celestin

    She actually appears to be very talented. Why such poor management over the years. I actually like her.

  • Well…alright

    Kelly was born after her mother was married to Kelly’s (supposed) father. Question: Why does Kelly have her mother’s maiden name of Rowland, when her (supposed) father’s last name is Lovett?!

  • t

    That is by far the stupidest comment I have seen on this site. If homegirl could sell a damn cd then she wouldn’t be leaving Knowels.

  • Purpleprincess

    Am sure she’ll do well. She’s got a number 1 dance record with some other guy here in the uk at the mo. Go Kelly!
